fluxbox background won't set
Just (seriously) trying Fluxbox for the first time and I'm having trouble getting my background to automatically set. I have
fbsetbg -f /my/bg/image.pngin ~/.fluxbox/startup and when I start fluxbox I see said wallpaper flicker on screen for a nano second before flux goes to the theme's default grey background. If I enter the command manually after fluxbox has started the wallpaper stays.
Any ideas what might be wrong? (I'm using feh, btw.)

- My AUR packages.
- I use i3 on my i7.

Re: fluxbox background won't set
The default theme appears to define its own background which is over-riding the one you are setting since fbsetbg is being executed before fluxbox has started. if you chage the entry to something like
( sleep 2 && fbsetbg -f /my/bg/image.png ) &that should delay the execution of fbsetbg until after fluxbox is running and you should see your desired background.

That's what I suspected was the problem. Thanks, that solves the issue.
